      I mean this sincerely. Who the fuck cares if he’s gay…but… he’s doing an amazing job where he is. He’s going after shitty airlines and shitty corporations that are screwing people over. Give him 4 more years dunking on delta please !

        Btw, I’ve noticed nearly every positive dem post on Lemmy today has the top comment being a bot generated negative comment… it’s so obvious it’s standing out.

      I’d be fine with a gay VP. We shouldn’t be choosing our candidates based on what bigots want.

      Though I’m not sure Pete is it. He has documented animosity from Black voters because of his time as mayor of South Bend during a period of disparate enforcement of cannabis prohibition. Since Harris is trying to distance herself from her time enforcing cannabis prohibition when she was DA, I think appointing Buttigieg runs the risk of reinforcing the “she’s a cop” narrative and increasing the likelihood that it will become an effective attack against her.
